The Host Client in vSphere 6.0 Update 2

Background Information:

The host client was initially a fling that allowed the admin to connect to the esxi host via a browser. Nowadays, it is built in and looking awesome. What follows are a few captures to display the host client capabilities. Works beautifully with different browsers (using firefox here) and it does NOT rely on Flash.

1. Connect to your esxi host using https://ip_of_host/ui or https://fqdn_of_host/ui. Log in as root.
